Chainsaw technique. What useful homemade products can be made from a chainsaw

The home-grown "Kulibins" are in special demand for a gasoline saw. It is used as a universal drive in the design of a home-made walk-behind tractor, and a rather powerful unit is obtained, which is notable for its small size. Combinations of a saw with a bicycle, a winch, a sawmill and other devices can be added to the number of homemade units. Anyone can make various devices from a chainsaw with their own hands, if they follow the drawings and work accurately.

We make a motor winch

DIY homemade chainsaw at home, videos, descriptions - let's talk about it today.

Many people living in the private sector have an old gasoline saw on their farm - "Friendship" or "Ural". Sometimes, when the wood is being collected, the saw is of significant benefit. The rest of the time she just lies there for no good reason.
Craftsmen managed to take advantage of this by building a motor winch and equipping them with rope-powered tools. After such an invention, it became much easier to cultivate the land, plant and dig.
The unit weighs no more than forty kilograms, so it will not be difficult to cope with it on the land plot.

The tillage implement is equipped with wheels, which makes it easy to move. The plow keeps itself in the furrow without the need for additional efforts on the part of the plowman. The furrow is twenty centimeters deep.

Replacing the plow with a hiller, you can use it in planting potatoes. And when harvesting, the device will also bring many benefits.

Gasoline scooter

To create such a vehicle you will need:

saw motor;
chain;
bolts, nuts for fasteners;
switch and accelerator from the mountain bike model;
old scooter.

The tire part with the chain is removed from the saw, everything else remains and will be installed on the scooter platform. The clutch is unscrewed from the crankshaft. Motor power will be supplied by the bicycle chain over sprockets. We will warn you right away that there will be two problems - it is impossible to stop the engine, and when you start it you will have to raise the rear wheel off the ground.
We fasten the sprockets onto the rear axle of the scooter.

We place the motor on the platform so that its sprocket is in line with the wheel group. Having drilled holes in the saw body and the scooter platform, we connect them with bolts.

Having adjusted the chain along the length, we pull it over the stars. The accelerator, mounted on the handle, is connected with wires to the on and off wiring, so that it is possible to keep the supply of motor energy under control.

Under such a structure, a base is needed that is firmly fixed so that displacement and vibration are not created.

The manufactured elements of the base are set in parallel, in level, which is especially important in order to avoid creating a free movement. This is done on a concrete surface, foundation foundation or compacted ground. The frame is fixed with bolts or studs, welded to the foundation reinforcement.

The rail base is now installed and fixed to the side mounts.

The order of work can be seen in the video:

Other fixtures

You can easily and quickly make a grinder from a saw that can work autonomously and be distinguished by high power. For such a transformation, you need to buy the necessary attachments in a building materials store that will help you transform one tool into another. To reduce the likelihood of blade breakage, the saw can be equipped with a protective cover, and the number of revolutions can be reduced with a speed reducer.

It is not a bad solution to make a portable generator set from a saw. It will come in handy at a summer cottage where there is no electricity. Twelve volts will be enough to get the illumination of a normal flashlight.

To the number of useful homemade products, you can add a motor to an inflatable boat, a motorcycle (you will need more than one saw for it), a light aircraft.

Is a device that is sometimes simply irreplaceable in the household. Operation speed, high productivity, ease of use are just a few of the advantages of this device.

However, not all consumers know that the use of a chainsaw is not limited exclusively to working with wood, and many of its structural parts are so functional that it becomes possible to build completely new mechanisms that are completely different from the original design of a gasoline apparatus.

This is due, first of all, to the design characteristics of the chainsaw: its engine is reliable and unpretentious, and fuel leakage is almost completely excluded. What can be made from a chainsaw will be discussed further.

Features of creating a motor-drill from a gasoline saw

In order to make a motor drill with your own hands from a chainsaw, first you need to adjust the engine speed, since you will not need maximum performance for comfortable and safe work.

An element such as a gearbox, which must be fastened to the chainsaw engine, can cope with this task. At this stage, it is important to think over the fastening system so that the parts of the future structure are tightly connected to each other.

In order for the device to work reliably, the drill and knives for it must be selected so that these parts coincide in rotation with the "native" mechanism.

A motor-drill from a chainsaw. The video demonstrates the use of the tool as an ice drill.

Chainsaw scooter device

With the help of a chainsaw engine, you can assemble not only devices for manual use, but also a full-fledged vehicle that operates on combustible fuel. One of these designs is a homemade scooter with a chainsaw motor.

To create this device, you need a regular scooter equipped with a handbrake system and inflatable wheels. The saw motor must be secured to the rear platform of the scooter and make sure that the star line of the motor and the rear wheel matches.

To control the level of energy supply to such a scooter, the manual accelerator must be connected to the wires responsible for turning on and off the chainsaw motor. In case of difficulties, installation of a special pedal is allowed.

A bicycle powered by a chainsaw, the so-called moped. The principle of using the engine is the same as that of a scooter.

How to mount a sawmill from a chainsaw?

One of the devices where the structural parts of the chainsaw are used to work with wood, not only for the purpose of cutting it, is a sawmill, with which you can qualitatively saw the beams of the required diameter.

Chainsaw homemade products have been the main topic for domestic craftsmen for many years. The devices they have created help to facilitate many tasks in the household. In addition, they save the family budget.

Generator

A chainsaw with a 2-stroke engine with a capacity of 2-3 liters is suitable for manufacturing. from. Electric motors from old washing machines are often used as an electric generator. The combination of these devices allows you to receive an electric current of 220 V at the output. The power of such a gas generator is sufficient for lighting, powering electrical appliances and tools, and household appliances.

Order of operations:

A bracket is made and an electric motor is attached to it. The resulting structure is installed at the outer end of the chainsaw tire. At the same time, they provide:
- perpendicularity of the axis of the electric motor to the plane of the tire;
- the location of the pulleys of both devices in the same plane.
The output shafts of the motors are fitted with pulleys of a suitable diameter.
Put the belt drive on the pulleys.
A device is made to regulate the speed of the chainsaw motor. A bolt is used, which is attached with a clamp to the handle of the latter. Twisting it leads to an increase in the number of revolutions, twisting it leads to a decrease.
The external starting winding of the electric motor is equipped with 2 capacitors, which are designed for a voltage of 400-450 V and have a total capacity of 10 μF. Their connection is parallel.

Winch

The mechanism is designed for horizontal movement or lifting of loads to a height. Does not depend on the availability of electricity, can be used outdoors, in hiking trips.

In order for it to have sufficient tractive effort, you will need a Druzhba, Ural or other chainsaw.

A prerequisite for this is that the power of the do-it-yourself winch engine from a chainsaw should not be less than 2.5 kW.

An important element of the device is the drum - it is made independently or used from a manual winch. In addition, you will need:

gearbox to reduce the speed of the chainsaw;
metal pipes or profiles, levers, cam clamps, clamps.

Winch manufacturing procedure:

A rigid frame is made of pipes. Use welding.
A chainsaw motor is attached to it. A gearbox is connected to it with clamps, and a drum is connected to the output shaft of the latter.
Install a lever equipped with cam clamps connected to the drum shaft. This control element allows you to control the workflow: when you move the lever in one direction, the drum starts rotating, in the other direction it stops.
An anchor is made, with which the winch will be fixed in the soil or cling to any fixed object. They use pointed corners that are welded or hinged to the frame.
A rope is wound on a drum, the free end of which is provided with a hook. It is used to grip, attach to the load that needs to be moved.

Boer

The device is available in 2 versions. Do-it-yourself chainsaw drills are made for the earth or for drilling ice. In the first case, the device facilitates the construction of deep pits for posts, fence supports, and other structures. In the second, it helps fishermen to drill holes in winter. They differ in the used drill.

The design of the gas drill involves the connection into one whole of the finished drill and the engine of the chainsaw. To make a motor drill from a chainsaw, the latter must have a high-power motor - at least 2 liters. from. In addition, you will need:

Reducer. This is an important element of the device. It is necessary to reduce the speed of the saw motor, since when the drill rotates quickly, the engine power may not be enough, and it is difficult to work under such conditions.
Bulgarian.
Metal pipe.
Drill.
Welding machine.

Drill assembly sequence:

Two rectangular frames are made from a metal pipe. The size of one is 45x35 cm, the second is 10x10 cm.
They connect the frames to each other, placing them parallel to each other at a distance of 30 cm. This is done with the same pieces of metal pipe, welding the adjacent corners of the frames with them.
Inside the resulting truncated pyramid, a gearbox is attached to a smaller frame.
According to the drill collection scheme, a motor is installed on top, connecting it to a gearbox with a short shaft (pre-made). The handle, which regulates the fuel supply, is brought out to the upper large frame. It also has an emergency engine shutdown system.
Connect using a piece of pipe to the output shaft of the drill gearbox. Parts are connected with dowels or pins.

Cultivator

The device simplifies the processing of the garden, beds. If they are of a small area, a do-it-yourself cultivator made from a chainsaw has an advantage over branded products - it will save money on the purchase.

To make a homemade cultivator from a chainsaw, they start from the frame. It is made in the form of a cube using 32x32 corners. An engine is attached to the transverse upper corners, which must have a capacity of at least 4 liters. from. Below it, a fuel tank is installed on the brackets. The front vertical posts are provided with supports for the intermediate shaft, which are attached to the longitudinal corners.

This arrangement of nodes and elements allows you to get the center of gravity of the walk-behind tractor above the wheel support surface. If necessary, adjustments use a metal weight, which is placed in front of the frame.

For manual control, crossbeams are installed using pipes with a diameter of 30 mm. For wheels of a motor-cultivator from a chainsaw, rubber-coated rollers are used, and a chain transmission is used to rotate the intermediate shaft. To do this, sprockets are installed on it and on the output shaft of the engine. Their size is selected for the required gear ratio.

Compressor

The craft consists in using an air blower from any device and using a chainsaw motor as its drive. If it is from an air conditioner, then you can make a device for quickly pumping up the wheels of the car.

The procedure for making a compressor from a chainsaw:

Make a sheet metal mounting plate. On one side, 2 holes are drilled through which it is attached to the chainsaw instead of a tire. On the other hand, a compressor is placed.
A coupling and a pulley are installed on the blower drive shaft.
Place the second pulley on the saw motor output shaft.
A belt is put on the pulleys to transmit rotation.
The inlet of the supercharger is equipped with an automotive oil filter with residual oil. Air through it is sucked in with oil particles, which reduces compressor overheating during operation.

To start the device, turn on the chainsaw motor. When it picks up speed, the coupling is triggered, the supercharger starts to work. A hose is connected to its outlet, through which the wheels of the car are pumped.

Mower

Most often, a do-it-yourself lawn mower from a chainsaw is made of a rotary type. It looks like a small cart on which all the units and parts are mounted. Make it welded using metal pipes or strips. From below, wheels are installed, the size of which should allow the device to move without difficulty on any surface.

There are options for do-it-yourself mowers from a chainsaw, equipped with 2, 3 or 4 wheels. The 2-wheel version of the chainsaw lawnmower has better maneuverability, so it is more widespread. A special casing is arranged in it, which prevents the operating unit from contacting the ground.

To make a lawn mower, the steering wheel and tire are first dismantled from the chainsaw. The motor on the frame is positioned so that the shaft is at the bottom. The cart is equipped with handles made from pipes. They attach the steering wheel of the chainsaw, lengthen the cable that controls the carburetor throttle.

First, a piece of pipe 80 cm long and 50 mm in diameter is welded to the motor sprocket.
Inside it, another pipe is placed, which is 8 mm less than the first in diameter.
Connect the pipes to each other with M6 bolts. The tubular design allows you to adjust the cutting height of the grass.
At the end of a wide pipe, a metal disc 4 mm thick and 18 cm in diameter is welded.
Blade knives made from an old hacksaw are attached to the disk. Their width is 3 cm, length - 12. The connection is made with M6 bolts loosely, which allows to protect the blades from breaking when they meet stones.

Circular

There are two sawmill options. They differ in the vertical or horizontal arrangement of the working tool.

The device with the vertical position of the chainsaw contains:

A guide, which is made from a section of a channel or a rectangular shaped pipe. Its length should be greater than the size of the processed logs.
Sled. For manufacturing, 2 pieces (40 cm each) of a 50x50 corner are used. They are welded at the ends of the upper shelves perpendicular to 2 metal strips 3 mm thick. The distance between the inner surfaces of the vertical flanges of the angles must correspond to the size of the channel or pipe.

In the middle of each of the corners, identical vertical plates with coaxial holes are welded on top.
A steel rod is inserted into them, attached by welding perpendicular to the tire of the chainsaw. On the rod on both sides of one of the vertical corners, pipe segments are placed. The latter are fixed with M8 bolts through the corresponding threaded holes. They serve to set the thickness of the resulting boards.

For circular operation:

A guide is placed on top of the log and fastened to it with self-tapping screws with countersunk heads.
Install on the slide rail.
They turn on the engine of the chainsaw and move it along with the slide along the log.

A machine

Chainsaws can be used to make different types of machines. One of them is the kart buggy, which is distinguished by the presence of a suspension in the design. It makes the car more comfortable off-road.

The process of creating such a homemade car is complex. This is especially true of the frame, which is welded from metal or shaped pipes according to pre-drawn drawings. Then they are engaged in the manufacture of suspension, steering parts.

Buggy making operations include:

suspension assembly;
installation of a rudder, rods and launcher;
fastening wheels;
brake placement;
installation of the driver's seat;
mount on the engine frame.

You can transfer the rotation from the motor to the wheels with a chain or belt. In the first version, sprockets are installed, in the second, pulleys. The engine is equipped with a muffler to reduce noise.

Kick scooter

For improvement, a scooter is better suited, which has inflatable wheels and a hand brake. The first allows him to move over bumps, the second - provides high stopping power.

Work is performed in the following sequence:

A chain, a tire is removed from a chainsaw.
Unscrew the centrifugal clutch from the crankshaft.
Bicycle sprockets are attached to the engine output shaft and the rear wheel axle of the scooter.
Place the motor on the back of the scooter platform. Connect them together with bolts. Both sprockets must be in the same plane.
They put a bicycle chain on the sprockets, adjust it, removing unnecessary links.
Attach the accelerator to one of the scooter handles. Connect it to the wires that turn on / off the motor. Instead of the accelerator, you can install a small pedal.

Helicopter

Such a homemade product is complex and therefore has not been implemented in life today. She is in the dreams of enthusiasts, in invented stories. One of them claims that even in the USSR, a prisoner who understands mechanics made a helicopter with a chainsaw engine and was able to escape from the colony.

Making a home-made helicopter requires, in contrast to a snowmobile, a boat motor, a bicycle, a grinder and even a snow blower, more complex engineering calculations. They also show that one, even a powerful, engine is not capable of lifting such an aircraft into the air. At least 4 motors are required, moreover, forced and working in concert at the maximum possible speed. And it is difficult to realize this with engines from chainsaws in practice.

Remember the famous movie with the brutal Mel Gibson? In a post-apocalyptic world, people are fighting for water, fighting with incredible technology and using homemade mechanics to survive. You could argue that most of this was running on gasoline engines, since they are the only fully autonomous equipment. And in the real world, this tool is in the arsenal of almost any summer resident. If you have a chainsaw, you will not be lost in any situation .. With your own hands, with the help of simple devices, you can make many useful devices for the economy on the basis of "Friendship" or "Ural".

Do not rush to get rid of the "old woman" chainsaw, she will still be useful to you!

Survival ideas: what you can do with your own hands from a regular chainsaw

This tool is convenient in that it does not depend on the power source. You can work with it away from home. If you suddenly need a pump, generator, snow clearing device or ice ax - the chainsaw will become the heart of any home-made car. This way you will not only save money, but also get really powerful and reliable equipment. Based on a gasoline engine of 4-8 liters. from. you can build a home sawmill, a sled, a light generator, and even a cultivator. Consider the most popular homemade chainsaw products and their manufacturing technologies.

Powerful chainsaw snow blower

The owners of the suburban area rarely enjoy the heavy snowfall. At such a time, they have one main concern - to clear the driveways and the passage to the house, remove the snow from the parking lot for the car and make their way to the exit to the highway. Not everyone has the energy and time to work with a shovel. Therefore, snowplows are very popular in the season.

But such an instrument costs at least 30,000-35,000 rubles, and not everyone can afford it. And what about the technical characteristics of this device? All the same petrol engine with a capacity of 5-8 liters. from. And if this is so, then the power of the chainsaw is theoretically enough for a homemade snow blower. The device of the snowplow is simple, pay attention to the diagram:

And now a small master class on making the device:

Picture	Description of work
	For the main shaft, on which the shovel will be mounted, metal stands are required. In this case, the racks from the VAZ 2110 were used. They need to be welded together using a metal sleeve.
	You will need a motorcycle star to drive. It is welded into the shaft.
	The auger will require two sheets of rectangular metal and spiral pieces. All this is cut from durable metal with a thickness of at least 2 mm.
	Blades and spirals are mirror-welded to the shaft.
	The shovel body is made of metal at least 1 mm thick. The shaft is mounted inwardly on automotive bearings.
	In the upper part of the case, you need to make a hole for the snow discharge pipe.
	A movable cover should be installed on the snow discharge pipe so that the direction of flow can be adjusted.
	The saw chainring must be replaced with a motorcycle chainring. To do this, you have to bore.
	The engine itself must be mounted on a frame with rubber pads for shock absorption.
	To fix the handlebar, a sturdy steel pipe stand should be made.
	The ignition and speed control system can be taken from a moped or motorcycle.

After assembling the main part, it remains only to install the skis and the fuel tank on the structure. The whole structure as a whole will weigh no more than 35 kg, so even a fragile woman can manage it.

As a result, the whole device will look like, see in this form:

Do-it-yourself universal snowmobile from a chainsaw

Winter fishing or hunting is a favorite pastime of many. You can't get to the cherished lake without a snowmobile, and there's no pleasure in running through the forest to chase game waist-deep in snow. This "toy" costs a lot - from 80,000 rubles. And again, the chainsaw will help you out. What you need to prepare: A suitable sled with skis or tracks. The sled itself can be welded from a steel, or better, an aluminum corner. The lighter the structure, the faster it will run. As a basis, you can take the device of a children's snow-scooter on three skis according to this scheme:

The impulse for movement of the self-made self-propelled self-propelled machine from the chainsaw is transmitted by caterpillars with hooks, which push the sled forward. You can replace the tracks with a shovel with 7-8 blades, it is installed under the seat. The principle of engine installation is the same as on a snowmobile - with a drive and gears from a motorcycle or moped.

As an engine for a snowmobile from a chainsaw, you can use "Friendship" or more modern models, for example, "Calm". The steering wheel will fit from the old bike, the motor control is displayed on it, or, if possible, immediately adapt the structure from the moped - there all the controls are ready.

Snowmobile brakes were invented by cowards. But in fact, with a chainsaw engine, it will not develop a dangerous speed, so just throw off the gas. Do not be reassured, such a product will not be registered by any car inspection. So it is impossible to move on it on the roads. But then you don't have to pay tax and undergo technical inspection. For driving in the dark, do not forget to put a flashlight on the structure.

Homemade sawmill from a household chainsaw

In private households, construction never stops. I rebuilt the house - conceived a gazebo, finished a gazebo - I need a garage, a fence, a shed, a doghouse. And so on ad infinitum. If there are no extra funds, the cheapest way is to buy round timber and dissolve it yourself into boards of the required size. A home sawmill can be built from the same chainsaw.

Picture	Description of work
	We replace the standard nuts with special fasteners, they are bored out of a hexagon.
	On the sawing table on a metal pipe, we install a movable coupling with a platform for attaching the saw.
	The thickness of the board is adjustable using movable posts. The higher you raise the racks, the thicker the board will be.
	It remains only to fix the saw on the movable coupling with hexagons and work.

A primitive sawing device can also be made right on the felling site. For work, you do not need to change the design of the unit, you just need to make a small device for the chainsaw that guides the movement of the tire. See how to do it:

DIY chainsaw ice screw: scheme and practice

They say that you can't pull a fish out of a pond without difficulty, but in winter I would like to limit this work by twitching a jig. The avid fisherman is never limited to one hole.

But if the ice is 0.5 m thick, you will spend most of your time drilling, losing strength and mood. An ice screw will help to cope with this task quickly and effortlessly. Let's see how much such a gadget costs: from 8,000 rubles. Why buy it when you have a chainsaw on hand? To make an ice screw, you need an old electric drill - we will make a drive from it. How to make an ice screw from a chainsaw with your own hands:

Picture	Description of work
	An electric drill will require a working gearbox.
	From a part of the anchor from a drill, a sleeve and a head for 27, you need to make such a tool. He will directly transfer the rotation to the borax.
	Another element needs to be made with your own hands from a piece of metal and a pipe. This is a gearbox mount.
	The fixing structure is fixed to the saw with two screws.
	This is how a reducer with a sleeve attached to a saw looks like.
	A drill is inserted into the sleeve. In the future, a drill tube is put on it and fixed with a bolt.

Important advice! The key to successful operation and safety of the tool is the presence of a guide for the movement of the drill. Many neglect this part of the design, and as a result, the drill breaks in the first minutes of use.

How a homemade design will work is shown in the video:

DIY chainsaw motor-drill

The motor-drill is designed according to the same principle as the ice-drill. The difference can only be in the nozzle. In earthworks, the speed of rotation of the spiral should not be too high, therefore, in a home-made design, it is necessary to provide for speed control and a simple shutdown.

DIY chainsaw boat motor

If we compare the cost of an inflatable boat and a motor, it turns out that the boat is at least twice cheaper. The most unpretentious petrol boat motor of 4 horses will cost 40,000 rubles. Expensive, to be sure. But the PATRIOT PT 6220 chainsaw with a capacity of 4.35 liters. from. - only 8 900 rubles. The power is the same, but the cost of the motor is five times cheaper! And what, tell me, is the point in purchasing an expensive boat engine?

Chainsaw manufacturers have long clarified all these points and quite officially release all kinds of attachments for them - from a drill to a propeller drive. The price of a nozzle for a boat is 5,000-6,000 rubles. At the same time, there is no need to make significant changes to the design of the saw, which means that after fishing you can easily change the nozzle and cut firewood for the fire. Now about how a homemade boat drive works:

Picture	Description of work
	Remove the tire and tensioner from the saw.
	The lower part of the rack with a screw is made of a gearbox from a drill, a cone from a petrol cutter, an oil seal and the screw itself.
	The tube with a stiffener is made of aluminum.
	We use a clamp to secure the motor to the boat transom. A platform for fixing the engine is welded to it.
	To connect the propeller to the motor, the author of the project uses a clutch made of vtoroplast.
	The platform with a motor is movable, its movement is controlled by a handle. The power control is also located on it.
	The saw is installed in such a way that the sprocket fits into the clutch, and the standard bolts fix the motor on the site.
	For fastening, you will have to prepare suitable nuts, regular ones will not work.

And now the material on how this device works in practice:

How to make a moped from a bike and a chainsaw

This homemade product from the Druzhba chainsaw is the most popular of the options that you can do yourself. The one who is on the moped is always the first guy in the village, so many craftsmen start with just such a device.

Important! The construction of a bicycle with a chainsaw engine must be especially durable. If not, reinforce the frame with additional struts.

A driven pulley is installed on the rear wheel, the engine is securely welded to the frame. How it will look as a result in this plot:

The Druzhba chainsaw moped is quite powerful, so be extremely careful and do not forget about the traffic rules!

Continuing the auto theme: do-it-yourself karting from a chainsaw

Young karting coaches know that more than one engine will burn out during the training process. The problem is that the child driving the car gets lost at speed. For this reason, training karting with a walk-behind tractor from a chainsaw is quite enough to start classes.

The karting device is primitive: the frame, the seat, the steering wheel and, in fact, the engine. The principle of installing the engine is the same as on a moped, the only difference is in its location. This is how it looks:

On such a go-kart, children can drive without risk along a track adapted for this, and the speed will be quite decent - up to 80 km / h.

DIY chainsaw generator

Among the tools for survival in any conditions, the generator is far from the last place. What to do if electricity suddenly turns off at your dacha, and you, not only will be left without light, but also the heating will stop working without a pump. For your own safety net, it is better to prepare the simplest generator from a chainsaw in advance.

Use a bicycle gear to transmit the torque. In this case, the saw must operate at minimum speed.

This is how it works:

Chainsaw winch

A winch is often needed on the farm: it will come in handy at a construction site for lifting building materials, pulling vehicles out of impassable spring mud and in many other unforeseen situations. Again the chainsaw will help mechanize this device.

There are ready-made nozzles on sale - winches. They work in this way:

But you can make a simple device with your own hands. You will need to make a sturdy metal frame to which the motor will be attached and mount the gear shaft.

DIY gas cutter from a chainsaw, or How to make a grinder: video

The gas cutter is the same grinder, independent of the electric drive. Agree, the tool is necessary in the household. To make it, you need a knot from a grinder, a powerful enough chainsaw, a belt and a pair of tires. How to make a grinder from a chainsaw:

The advantage of the resulting tool is that it is completely autonomous and has good power. Perhaps, it surpasses in its characteristics any factory electric grinder. It is only necessary to take into account that the device is dangerous and requires a very careful approach. The most common problem is a burst disk, its fragments can cause serious injury. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to work with such a tool without a protective cover.

Adult toy: radio controlled chainsaw car

And this toy is definitely not for children. It is difficult to say what practical application can be found for a radio-controlled machine from a chainsaw, but its creators were hardly looking for it. For the keen modeler, the complete device report:

Homemade from the Ural chainsaw

Why most often you can find information about homemade products from the Ural saw? It's simple: a powerful, but heavy and noisy saw with reliable Soviet quality was left out of work for many. It was replaced by light and comfortable models of European and Chinese production.

"Friendship" and DIY from this chainsaw

Druzhba is the progenitor of the Urals, and it has become a popular homemade base for the same reason. "Druzhba" has a powerful two-stroke engine of 3 liters. from. The device even has a chain brake.

"Ural" and "Druzhba" are distinguished by increased strength and endurance, like most engineering solutions of the times of the USSR. In addition, they are fueled with low-octane gasoline, and this is a significant savings. The only drawback of this technique is weight.

Article

In the hands of craftsmen, an ordinary chainsaw, originally intended for sawing wood, becomes a truly multifunctional device. At the same time, the breadth of its application is simply striking in its diversity. On sale there are various types of special attachments that significantly expand the capabilities of chainsaws. These include the following attachments: a gas cutter, a clearing machine, a pump for pumping water, a motor, a brush cutter, a snow blower and others. But, despite this, many craftsmen rework chainsaws on their own, using improvised materials. Homemade products from a chainsaw with their own hands can be made by almost any person who is more or less versed in technology.

Rework principle

At the heart of almost any homemade chainsaw is its use as a universal drive that can be used for a huge number of different devices. Their area of \u200b\u200buse is very wide: cutting stone and metal, pumping water, removing snow, drilling wells and holes, driving, moving various objects, swimming and even flying.

They realize the potential of the chainsaw using a variety of attachments and attachments. Any alteration is based on a simple principle of engine power take-off: a device necessary for the master is connected to the output shaft. The presence of a powerful motor, compact size and relatively light weight of this tool, autonomy and ability to work in almost extreme conditions make its possibilities truly limitless. Of no small importance is the practical design of the clutch, which protects the components and systems of the saw from damage and overload. A tool made from a chainsaw is distinguished by its tightness, so it can be used in almost any position.

What can be made from a chainsaw

All homemade products can be roughly divided into 2 groups:

the most simple devices (grinder, ice screw, pump, winch, walk-behind tractor, boat motor, bicycle, moped);
more complex mechanisms and objects (sawmill, snow blower, snowmobile, snowmobile, power plant, helicopter, solid-forged knife).

For the manufacture of all of the above devices, you can use various brands of chainsaws. When choosing them, one should take into account the required power for the normal operation of the rework. Most often, the following brands of chainsaws are used for the manufacture of various devices: Friendship, Calm, Ural.

The most simple homemade chainsaw

Below are the different options for devices made from chainsaws. Everyone will be able to use such ideas in their household. From a chainsaw with a small amount of additional materials, you can make:

Bulgarian... The main system of such a device is a bearing assembly with a shaft. At one end of it, a driven pulley is installed, which rotates with a V-belt. On the other, a mandrel for cutting wheels is fixed. Depending on their brand, such a grinder can be used to cut stone, metal, brick and other building materials.

Ice screw... For good operation of the device, the speed of the auger should not be high, therefore, it is necessary to use a reducer made in the form of a worm or V-belt transmission. Such a device can be used in the construction of a foundation from screw piles and for other earthworks.

Water Transfer Pump can be used for watering the garden, emergency water supply, drainage of reservoirs or flooded basements. This nozzle is a simple centrifugal pump equipped with a saw bracket and a pulley that drives the pump turbines.

Winchwhich uses a chainsaw drive. The pulling force of such a device directly depends on the power of the saw motor. By using an additional unit, it can be significantly increased This device is equipped with such additional parts as a tap-off block, hooks, belts, anchors.

Chainsaw outboard motor - a great alternative to buying an expensive engine. To ensure the movement of 20 km / h, it is enough to install on the boat a homemade outboard motor with a gearbox (gear ratio 2: 1) and a 3-blade propeller with a diameter of 210 mm. In this case, the fuel consumption will be only 1 liter per hour of engine operation.

Motor cultivator almost everyone can assemble from a chainsaw. This requires a transmission system (2 gears). With its help, the energy of the motor is transferred to the drive wheel, thanks to which the working mechanism is set in motion. Of course, such a cultivator is of little use for cultivating a huge field, but its power is quite enough for a personal plot.

Chainsaw moped... For such a vehicle, you will need a base, for example, an old bicycle. A chainsaw motor is attached to its frame. Typically, such a vehicle uses a gear train. If a mountain bike is used for conversion, then a gearbox is needed to control the speed of movement.

For the manufacture of the following devices, the master needs some technical knowledge and experience with various mechanisms and materials. From a chainsaw using various components, you can create the following homemade products:

Sawmill from a chainsawwhich can be done with a metal frame. A chainsaw is rigidly attached to this frame. The workpieces can be guided along the track. There are other options for sawmills. So for a device designed for longitudinal sawing, you need an adapter attached to the bus located at its base and a guide that sets the direction of movement of the adapter. The guide is installed on a board attached to the log to be sawn. With this sawmill, logs can be divided into 2-4 parts.

Portable power station from chainsaw is able to provide energy in any places remote from power grids. To create it, you need the following components: a gear reducer, a generator, a metal bar, a drive belt, a control panel. Powerful saws Druzhba and Ural are most suitable for such a device.

Homemade snow blower can be made from a saw whose power exceeds 3 kW. For it, it is necessary to mount a screw assembly with blades made of durable but elastic material. A chain connects the motor to the auger unit through a pair of gears. Both wheels and runners can be attached to the snow blower. Any large diameter pipe can be used to throw snow.

Homemade chainsaw snowmobile by its design, it is a little more complicated than a sawmill. A snowmobile consists of a frame, engine, track and steering. He also needs runners to move. To create it, you need to take out the gas and clutch on the steering wheel. You should also consider a shock-absorbing suspension system for the carrier frame. Since the chainsaw does not have a transmission, the clutch on a homemade snowmobile is centrifugal. A poly V-belt and chain are also used. You can use old bike parts for the steering gear. It is redesigned so that the center axis moves the traction skis. To increase traction, a traction gear is installed on the drive shaft of the caterpillar. Engine power must be at least 5 hp.

Chainsaw snowmobile much easier to do than a snowmobile. A large screw, directly rotated by the chainsaw engine, provides the driving force. A serious limitation of the use of such snowmobiles due to their insufficient cross-country ability is the low power of the chainsaw engine. Driving through snowy fields requires an engine with a power of at least 12 hp.

Chainsaw backpack type helicopter... Such an aircraft can take off only when at least four engines with a total power of 20 hp or more, operating in a coordinated mode, are used in its design. It will not work to make it out of one chainsaw. Using such a homemade device can be life threatening.

Can be done by people familiar with blacksmithing. To do this, first of all, the old chains are divided into pieces, which are then welded into blanks. They are heated in a crucible to 850 ° C. The workpieces are pressed until they get rid of the voids between the links. Further, the metal is amenable to forging until the workpiece is given the necessary shape and strength.
